Our team hosts Darussafaka, the team that made CSKA lose for the first time this season.

“It is a very important game for many reasons,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “We are chasing the spot that will give us a home court advantage, Darussafaka is playing for playoff position. It is a good, talented team with full roster. They beat us in the first leg. So it is going to be a tough game.”

Pavel Korobkov and Dmitry Kulagin remain out for CSKA.
